The Beatyard festival takes place across a summers weekend, nearly 20,000 people over 3 days in the seaside town of Dùn Laoghaire with the main stage right on the harbour. Previous line ups have included Orbital, the Jacksons, Kamasi Washington, Four Tet, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, MrScruff, Parliament, Snarky Puppy, Roy Ayers, Tensnake, John Talabot, Neneh Cherry, Theo Parrish, Daphni, Little Dragon, Django Django, Kiasmos, Andrew Weatherall and loads more. And that’s not all, you'll also find an array of games & sports, quizzes, art & design workshops, a flea market and international craft brewers in our Carnivale tent. There's also talks, chats and sing-alongs in the Banteryard, experiments, explosions and screenings at the Techyard, classic gaming in our Gamesyard, a place to dock the kids in our Studioyard and the tastiest of treats in the Eatyard with Just-Eat.

The Eatyard is a brand new food market space on 9-10 South Richmond St right next door to The Bernard Shaw. It’s been 2-4 years in the talking and making, and has grown out of our annual Beatyard & Big Grill festivals, the various flea and car boot sales we’ve hosted as well as numerous trips to destinations like Austin, London, South Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe. A mish-mash of all of the above has gotten us to this point. Our aim at Eatyard is to elevate Irish Street Food to a new level and bring a unique casual dining experience to Dublin. We are looking for innovative & creative food producers, chefs, cooks or vendors who follow the ethos of doing something simple really well.

The Bernard Shaw was/is our first bar. In existence since 1895, Bodytonic started a new chapter in 2006 and have tried to keep her lit since. The reason its called the Bernard Shaw is that when we took over the bar, it was called the George Bernard Shaw [ he was born nearby on Synge Street], and when we took it over, we had no money, so we kept the sign as was, and shortend the name to 'The Bernard Shaw'. Why? Why not...

The Back Page is a pub in Phibsborough that covers an eclectic mish-mash of ideas from music, comedy, games of all shapes and sizes, salads & pizza, craft beers, a simple cocktail menu, sports events of all descriptions, and quality teas & coffees.
